  • I work in the news media. We're planning for me to quit and be a stay at home mom after we have the baby. 
  • I'm a registered nurse in a busy emergency room -- no time to slow down
  • @jessieRene' Emergency nursing is my background. I currently work at a jail as a nurse while I went back for my nurse practitioner. I hope to be starting a new job soon as a NP. I love emergency nursing...we are a different breed! :)

  • I work in Lean Manufacturing. It's process flow, visual management, quick changeovers. Everyday is a little different which makes it interesting. 
  • @LMMama I'm working on my masters right now in Human Resources so I feel your pain.  I'm trying to push myself to get it done before the baby gets here next summer.  How long have you been working on yours?

  • Pre kids I was a special education teacher. 

    Now I SAH full time, but coach swimming in the evenings. I've also been running a youth summer rec program for the past decade or so, but that's probably not happening this year.

  • My job is confusing to explain and very unique

    I am the DHI field service coordinator for a dairy cooperative based out of Lansing, MI. DHI stands for dairy herd improvement and basically that involves collecting milk samples from dairy cows and helping the farmer with his records. As the field services coordinator, I am the supervisor for 14 employees in southern Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. 
  • My job is a bit strange....I'm a wildlife necropsy technician. I'm also finishing up my grad cert in wildlife management. Basically, I like wild animals.

  • I'm a mess/surf nurse. I work nights right now. I just interviewed for a day shift labor and delivery position Before I got my BFP 
  • Yes! High five! You either hate it or love it ❤️
  • Ok haven't seen this yet...construction Superintendent
  • @Assiram42 Basically, yes. :) My boss (the veterinary pathologist) gets to do all the fine cutting and look at the slides for histology reports and I get to do everything else. It sure helps to keep me busy! I'm a little concerned about the dead whale smell potentially causing puking issues further into the first trimester however....

    So cool!  Your job, not the dead whale smell.
  • I'm a nurse. I do pediatric hematology/oncology and I absolutely love it! I went part time when DD was born and I have no plans of going back to full time at this point.
  • I teach 8th grade US History. Question for other teachers: Will you be taking maternity leave at the start of the next school year?

    Wow, that sounds like a job where you'd take a lot home at the end of shift.  Very emotionally taxing.
  • @MrsW0805 I'm a dental hygienist as well! What state do you practice in? I'm in Indiana (licensed in Kentucky as well) working 4-5/days a week. 
  • Wow, tons of teachers! Lots of cool jobs. I work in marketing and I am currently a media supervisor at an advertising agency. 
    Carrie An infertility veteran, survivor and champion. However, have a beautiful son and another one on the way!
  • I am also a teacher (in training). I am in my last semester for an associate's degree in Early Childhood Education. I want to work in a child care center with infants after I graduate!

  • I am a SW at a pediatric rehab hospital.  LOVE my job :)
  • @wearmi1 I'm coming up on the end of mine! And this pregnancy has stolen a lot of my daily motivation for the time being. I've been working on classes for two years. Just have to finish out my school year internship and I'll be done in May. Then the hard part, finding a job. 
  • I am currently a full time student getting my degree in special education which I will graduate with in may. I also sub for a private special needs school for extra money.

  • @Assiram42 I definitely take home a lot at the end of the day sometimes. Although for as much sadness that stays with me, there's just as much joy and victory, if you will.

    @mezalune I couldn't do SW. You're amazing. Did you say you were in or around St. Louis? If it's the peds rehab facility I'm thinking of, it's a really amazing place!
  • @LMMama I feel your pain I am doing an unpaid internship for my teaching license as well! I am going to take the year off between that and going to work full time so I can enjoy a year with the soon to be little one!

    I am guessing that I will be cutting it close, but I am hoping that I won't have to.  That first week of school is crucial for my kids regarding classroom management.  I already have an idea of how the first year will go, and I'm not looking forward to being obsessed with my milk stash again.  The dreaded pump.
  • @MKRLTX, I'm also a registered nurse case manager.  :)





  • @HookEmNelson I'm late June so I'm thinking of starting the first day or two and then taking a month. Pumping at work really stresses me out, so I want to avoid it as much as possible!
